Synopsis
The 8 essays included in this selection have not been chosen in order to trace the evolution of Montaigne's thought since other anthologies following upon the invaluable wok of Pierre Villey, have made this their aim; the editors have preferred instead to present the reader with as complete a picture as possible the fruits of Montaigne's development, namely his 'sagesse'. A synthesis of 'sagesse' is given in the introduction to this edition and there are also a Chronology, which is closely linked to the essays selected, abudant notes on the text, an extensive glossary. The undergraduate will thus find within one volume all the material neccesary for a full undsersatnding of these essential essays.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
